My only thought would be that the sleepiness is a result of your doctor raising your dose so quickly. From 40 to 80 and even starting at 40 is really quite fast, especially when you're on other medications. Of course I'm not a doctor but from what I experienced the slower the better. As for postive effects, it seems to take up to 6 weeks at the top dose for it to take effect so you might want to give it some time. Also, in the clinical trials most people found the therapeutic dose to be around 110. Just an FYI. Good luck!
